North Clackamas Homes for Rent

Oatfield, Oregon, may be a short, 15-minute drive from Portland, but it’s a world away for those who want to escape city life and the crush of high-tech corporate culture. A small suburban community of just under 15,000 people, Oatfield is in Clackamas County, which is one of nine that make up the famed, 150-mile-long Willamette Valley that runs from Portland to Eugene. The valley region is known for its production of award-winning Oregon Wines, as well as crops of hazelnuts, apples, grapes, cherries, hops and Christmas trees. While small in area, Oatfield packs a punch with outdoor activities and natural vistas. As Tedi McKnight-Heikes, a veteran realtor with Engel & Volkers West Portland says, “We’ve seen an increase in the number of Portlandians moving to Oatfield. From a practical perspective, buyers know they can get larger lots for relatively reasonable prices. But they’re also coming here for the quiet, the seclusion and the wide-open acres.” Located between the towns of Milwaukie and Gladstone, Oatfield has a variety of properties from new, estate-style homes, to updated midcentury homes and small suburban homes close to area schools.
